Demartek published the Demartek SSD Deployment
Guide 2012-Q2 on April 19, 2012. This guide is designed for managers and technical professionals within
IT departments who are exploring the possible benefits of SSD technology or who are looking for actual deployment
examples of SSD storage solutions. The Demartek SSD Deployment Guide 2012-Q2 is designed to provide
basic information about SSDs and practical guidance for planning and deploying SSD technology and products. This
is primarily a technical document, including information about the types of solid state media that are available,
form factors, deployment examples, and more.

Our web logs indicate that the Demartek SSD Deployment Guide 2012-Q2 was downloaded more than 1000 times during the first
30 days that it became available. This count excludes web crawlers, bots and other non-human accesses. This also excludes
our own internal accesses from within Demartek, so that we don’t skew the results.
